Priorities

As the next Bernalillo County Sheriff, Paul Pacheco will commit himself to making Bernalillo County a safer place to live, work, and raise a family.

Paul’s top priorities:

  • Increase the number of deputies on the streets, taking calls in the community.
  • Engage in more proactive policing to stop crime by strengthening the connection between community groups, local business and residents.
  • Improve the relationship with prosecutors to ensure criminals arrested are held ultimately accountable for their crimes and work to end dangerous catch-and-release practices.
  • Strengthen victim notification services, so victims are made aware anytime their offender is released from custody, particularly in domestic violence cases.

As sheriff, Paul Pacheco will be a strong advocate for changing the laws that have allowed embolden criminals to evade the criminal justice system for too long, and finally take back the community for our families and loved ones.
